I feel like "See that mountain? You can go there." was already a cliche when the game came out. [Though I have no citation to prove it.]

BotW really delivered on it though, with everything being climbable as the rule rather than the exception.

Understandable, I'm really looking forward to FF getting tab groups too. I don't know why such a nice feature was left unimplemented for so long. 🫀

And I mean, there's still time now. Switching browsers isn't that bad. Export+import some bookmarks and adjust some settings, good to go.

I think FF has been a good option for a while. But the second best time is now. I can totally get it if people didn't want to switch until they had more of a concrete problem.

There's not much distinction between currency and product is there? Most products are just other forms of currency - eg, goods can be sold back for money. Services usually save you time. So when you say product, you just mean what is time exhanged for?

The most common product of time is probably money, the next most ubiquitous type of currency. But then there are also more abstract things like enjoyment, knowledge, rest.

Same. I don't really use Google search any more, but I still keep the phrase. It's just something people understand.

Just like Reddit's changes last year, seems like a clear and reasonaly expected consequence of the 'our text is so valuable because AI' idea.

The web will probably continue to become more gated and more fragmented as a result of that, plus trying to get more control to force ads.

Not quite dry, but we combine the dry ones with some coleslaw mix, the flavor packet, some sugar, and some apple cider vinegar. Turns out crunchy and delicious.

Edit: Oh and also oil

I didn't care too much about API changes at first - I used an open source app on my phone, but mostly browsed desktop. Would have been fine going back to desktop only. As long as they keep the old site design around, I'd be fine to stay.

What killed it for me was the absolutely un-caring, not-budging response from leadership. I don't feel good continuing to feed the site my attention at that point.

I like quirky Foss stuff anyway, so I was already curious about Mastodon and Lemmy. But I'd always figured they'd be ghost towns. Twitter and Reddit deliberately being proudly, blatantly awful was enough to push me out to here, along with enough other folks.

Well said. Within the existing framework of copyright law, the emergency open library thing that got them sued seems obviously illegal, despite it being a good thing. What's good and what's legal don't always line up.

The Internet Archive's work is too important. The library portion (that does controlled digital lending of published books) is nice, but I wouldn't be too hurt if it goes down. Regular public libraries can fill a lot of that role. But the archive itself is incredible, and losing that would be a huge shame.

Legally, I don't know that admitting fault and saying sorry does much good, but it certainly isn't surprising that they got into hot water here.
